I've done the following: deleted and recreated the group and the individual users. I've deleted and recreated their local outlook profiles. I've checked their addressbooks for the deleted users address. luckily it's more of an annoyance than anything else but it makes me wonder if I am going to have other problems with the active directory database... -Ron Ghetti Information Systems Dept. Town of Barnstable >> Ron, I saw your post on the exchange list newsgroup. I am having the same issue and have not been able to find a solution. I was curious if you had found a solution to your problem? Any info you can share would be appreciated.
